A condensed oblique sans with monolinear strokes and smooth, rounded curves. The letterforms are tall and tightly set, with compact bowls and restrained apertures that keep the silhouette streamlined. Terminals are mostly straight and clean, and the overall construction favors simple geometry with minimal flourish. Numerals follow the same narrow, upright-to-oblique rhythm, maintaining consistent stroke weight and a cohesive, slanted texture across lines of text.
This font is well suited to short, high-impact settings where a tight footprint and energetic slant help maximize presence—headlines, subheads, posters, and display typography. It can also work effectively for branding and packaging where a modern, streamlined voice is desired, especially in tech, automotive, or sport-adjacent contexts.
The font conveys speed and forward motion through its consistent slant and compressed proportions. Its pared-back, utilitarian shapes read as contemporary and efficient, with a slightly technical, performance-oriented tone rather than a decorative one.
The design appears intended to deliver a fast, space-saving oblique sans that remains clean and consistent in display sizes. Its geometry and restrained detailing suggest a focus on clarity and momentum rather than expressiveness or historical reference.
The italic angle is applied uniformly, creating a strong diagonal cadence in running text. Capitals remain compact and narrow without becoming brittle, and the overall texture stays even thanks to the low stroke contrast and controlled curves.
